    CAT Cables

    Being relatively new to this forum and not very familiar with CAT cables could someone please describe the "sound" of the various levels of the CAT line specially the interconnects?

    I know all manufacturers like to say their products are "neutral" but if that were the case they would all sound the same and I think most readers here agree that is not the case.

    In my experience the interconnects that I use now (from a different manufacturer) are more to the "warm" side while still being able to convey detail and "musicality". For my system this is what works.

    What are the sonic attributes of the various CAT interconnects and how do you choose which model "fits" (in a sonic sense) your system?

    Depends on which one you're refering to. The silver IC's in my system tend to really bring out the upper detail and the bass response seems solid without being boosted.

    The copper IC's are a little more mellow at the upper end but seem to have similar bass response...at least in my system.

      Hi All,
      I've been using my new RCD-1072 cd player connected to my Perreaux Headphone amp and Sennheiser HD-650 headphones for a couple of weeks now. The level of detail produced by the RCD-1072 is outstanding. Combined with a good pair of headphones you don't miss a trick from the CD. Well, just...
